    I get worried about my career choice....

    netglow replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, I think it's very wise you are sitting and thinking about this. A relative of mine just switched majors because of the very real situation out there for nurses, she was in her 3rd year of a...

    Cause of a dried up black uvula?

    netglow replied to ws582's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    As mentioned above: mets, food/secretions (very likely), and I'll add that mets to sinus/oral areas might suddenly bleed due to tissue destruction and clotting problems and it can get scary. Be...

    You're Hired!: The New World Of Hiring Nurses??

    netglow replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    A little FYI in case somehow nobody knew. If you are someone who has an "in" for a job, you will find often that you are directed to "formally" apply online at a designated time (usually a half hour...

    Leaving a job while in orientation

    netglow replied to Punch's topic in Nursing Career

    OP, the first part of your post about not getting feedback in order to improve is just so common in nursing today. Too many nurses and too many managers are reliving middle school at their jobs. It's...

    You're Hired!: The New World Of Hiring Nurses??

    netglow replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think the OP is finding it hard to respect the interviewer who asks why she scored low on some test she has no access to. She should have said, "I can't comment on that due to the fact that you...

    RN Pre-Employment Tests =(

    netglow replied to Sunf1owerRN's topic in General Nursing

    Another clue to those personality tests is to answer as if you are a doe-eyed 14 year old raised in a very conservative family - in other words, it's not in you to make your own decisions or to be...

    Nursing diagnosis evaluation examples

    netglow replied to henny0507's topic in General Nursing

    Keep it simple for your priorities. You've just made a list of all your nursing dx. Now which on your list will get you and the patient in trouble if you don't get on it right away? Think, "If I don't...

    American Academy of Family Physicians thoughts on NPs

    netglow replied to SkiBumNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Nobody cares about patients and safety, that is a ruse. Hospitals are cutting back. They will cut back no matter what. If the economy vastly improves they will cut back. It's all about the money and...

    netglow replied to smclean27's topic in General Nursing

    I dunno about male nurses getting a leg up. I, in fact know of a few places who will not consider a male nurse - ever. I do agree though that if your research - every state/fed prediction, as well as...

    Leaving My First Job - Advice?

    netglow replied to ms285907's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think things are the same or worse everywhere bedside. It's what nursing has become. Those that have what they say are great situations work at places where turnover is low. These are extremely rare...

    Do you think Dental Hygienists make more than Nurses? (RN)

    netglow replied to keithm1012's topic in General Nursing

    In my area we are saturated with hygienists. My own told me that hiring is almost none in my area. She tells me that it's worse than nursing. Entire classes of graduates receive not even an interview....
